Description
The total number of octets received on the interface,
including framing characters.
The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to
a higher-layer protocol.
The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a
higher (sub-)layer, which were addressed to a multicast
address at this sub-layer.
The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a
higher (sub-)layer, which were addressed to a broadcast
address at this sub-layer.
The number of inbound packets which were chosen to
be discarded even though no errors had been detected to
prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer
protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a
packet could be to free up buffer space.
The number of packets received via the interface which
were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported
protocol.
The number of inbound packets that contained errors
preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer
protocol.
The total number of octets transmitted out of the
interface, including framing characters.
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted to a subnetwork-unicast
address, including those that were discarded or not sent.
